Ep. 3: The Role of Mobile Network Operators in Women’s Digital Financial Inclusion

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, January 16, 2024 • Duration 30:26

We know usage of mobile internet is not keeping pace with connectivity. Host Sonja Kelly (Global Vice President, Research & Advocacy, Women's World Banking) and guest Aniqa Sandhu (CEO, Digital Financial Services, Digicel Group) spotlight the role of mobile network companies in driving women’s usage of mobile internet, and consider how effective digital financial capability building can help drive usage for women.

According to the GSMA, although mobile operators’ investments in network infrastructure have helped to shrink the ‘coverage gap’ from 1.4 billion people in 2015 to 400 million people in 2022, there are still 3.2 billion people around the world covered by networks who are not using nor reaping the benefits of this connectivity. Women are disproportionately affected by this issue, with the gap around usage of the mobile internet increasing in 2022 to 16%, translating to 264 million fewer women than men using mobile internet.

Ep. 2: Blockchain & Crypto: A Dynamic Duo for Faster Financial Inclusion?

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, January 16, 2024 • Duration 42:18

Blockchain and crypto have barely cemented themselves into our global society and there are already hundreds of use cases, testing it as a viable mechanism to lay a fast foundation for financial inclusion, especially for those traditionally limited by patriarchal financial systems.

So, can this new tech beeline to the woman customer and help overwrite her typical barriers?

Join Sonja Kelly, Global Vice President of Women’s World Banking proprietary research division, as she speaks with best-selling author and blockchain guru, Conor Svensson, about if blockchain can enable women’s financial autonomy, as well as the promise of cryptocurrency and if it is truly a smart business investment.

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, January 16, 2024 • Duration 42:12

The promise of artificial intelligence for financial services providers is automated decision-making at scale, but that means AI also automates risk at scale.

Algorithm- enabled credit decisions have the potential to create a level playing field for female customers worldwide—but only if we find and mitigate biases emerging through technology inputs and processes.

Join Sonja Kelly, Global Vice President of Women’s World Banking proprietary research division, as she speaks with author, advisor and ethicist, Reid Blackman, about how you can ensure your AI is ethical and create an onramp to financial inclusion for women everywhere.
